“On the day I planned to take my life… I stopped to write my kids a letter. That habit saved me.”  -  Christoph Merrill

In this moving episode of the ReFind Resilience Podcast, ​⁠‪@CHRISTOPHmerrill‬ author of Habit Freak, shares how living with Type 1 Bipolar Disorder has taught him the power of intentional habits—not just for productivity, but for survival.

Christoph opens up about:
• The extreme highs of mania and the crushing lows of depression
• How he’s learned to let suicidal thoughts pass through him instead of being consumed by them
• The simple, consistent habit of writing daily letters to his children—and how it literally kept him alive on his darkest day and how he helps others make habits that matter both on stage and online.

This is a raw, hope-filled conversation about mental health, breaking stigma, and using small daily actions to anchor yourself in the middle of life’s storms.

New episode drops on Monday at 5 AM ET.
